Bitmap inside a Sprite - But still not clickable? AS3 - actionscript-3

Question

Basically I've got a bitmap which is an image that the user captures from a webcam which was previously stored as bitmapdata which I converted into a bitmap and added it onto the stage..
From here I want the bitmap to be selectable so I can do other things to it, so I realised I would need to add this into sprite in order to add event listeners onto it.
Having done so, for some reason my application ain't wanting to recognise the events added?
Here is the code I've got..
Bitmap..
//Create a new bitmap from the video capture
image = new Bitmap(bitmap,"auto",true);
//Set the width and height properties
image.width=150;
image.height=125;
//Set the stage position
image.x = 430;
image.y = 280;
stage.addChild(image);
Sprite..
var imageSprite:Sprite;
imageSprite = new Sprite();
imageSprite.x = 200;
imageSprite.y = 50;
imageSprite.addChild(image);
stage.addChild(imageSprite);
Event listener:
imageSprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, SelectWebImage1);
Function:
function SelectWebImage1(e:MouseEvent): void {
trace("Clicked");
}
I receive no errors from this but I noticed that when I have that code written in my application, all of the code underneath it doesn't seem to function?
I really don't know what i'm doing wrong, any help appreciated thanks!

Answer 1

When you set Sprite's dimensions, you implicitly set its scale, and also if you place some graphics by using width and height, the width and height includes any sprite's children, accounting for their position. You should place that bitmap into imageSprite and not set x,y proerties for the bitmap, this way you won't have to account for its position inside the sprite to position the bitmap.
